When the debate was resumed on the
Crimes bill June 18th in the House OF Com
mons, London, Henry Fowler, Liberal
moved an amendment requiring, before
enforcing clause 6, which deals with pro-
claiming dangerous associations, that
consent of both Houses of Parliament be
obtained. This, he said, the most danger
ous clause of the bill ought to be resisted
to the utmost.
Balfour opposed the amendment, saying
it would only lead to waste of time OF Far
lament.
Dillon declared it to be the universal be-
lief in Ireland that the bill was mainly dl-
rected against the National League.
Fowler's amendment was rejected by
233 to 121
Several more amendments having been
disposed of, the Chairman put the question
whether the clause should stand as part of
the bill.
Sir Charles Russell entreated the House
TO consider the gravity and Objectionable
character of the clause. While he was
speaking the hour of 10 arrived. the Min
isterial benches rapidly filled, members
pouring in from the lobbies. The -ParneI-
ties simultaneously arose and lett the
House, the Chairman twice calling upon
them to resume their seats. Amid confu-
sion division was ordered and the clause
was adopted by 332 to 1913.
After the division the Gladstonians
turned to hear the result and then left the
House altogether, the majority having
haired. For the remainder of the evening
not single Parnellite voted; all left the
precincts of tue House Immediately. The
Unionists voted solidly with the Govern
ment. As the Unionists were the only oc-
cupants of the Opposition benches after
division, Chamberlain, Lord Harrington
and Mr.. Henesge sitting isolated on the
front bench, many Conservatives crossed
to the Opposition benches and sat down.
Major Saunderson was loudly cheered on
taking Healy's seat. Quiet was restored
in half an hour.
The remaining clauses were put and car
ried without comment, and the bill passed
the committee stage, the Conservatives
again cheering. The report stage of the
bill was fixed for the 9th inst.
A conference was held between the Glad
stonians and Parnellites at night at which
the course to be pursued relative to the
Crimes bill was decided upon. The more
violent of the ParneIlites agreed to aban-
don the obstruction course in Difference to
Gladstone's wishes. The Parnellites will
move the remainder of their amendments
during the report of the stage of the bill.
In the House of Commons June Doth Sir
Henry Holland, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, replying to Mr.. Howard, said
that Sir Samuel Rowe, Governor of Sierra
Leone, had informed the Government that
the conference held between the French
and natives had resulted in the hosting of
the French flag at Bariboo, on the Gambia
river. While not under a British protectO-
rate, he said that Bariboo was within the
sphere of British influence and the native
chiefs were under treaty obligations to
England. The establishment of a French
protectorate would have an important
bearing on British influence in that dis
trict Sir Henry said that dispatches were
being exchanged between the British and
French Governments in regard to the
matter.
